A helping hand

I picked up this Red Cross magnet many years ago, in the post-September 11th haze of preparedness.

Yes. I know I didn't fill out the rest of the numbers. Don't focus on that.

It's early days yet...and it's going to be a marathon of lending a helping hand to the devastated country of Haiti.

But while there are already several places to donate for Haitian Earthquake Relief, and definitely more to come in the future, for now, there's really only one place that I trust that has the infrastructure and resources to help in the immediate future:

Now that the immediate crisis has moved into the mid-term "OMG how do they start to recover" phase, now can I poke you to get you to write those emergency numbers down? Maybe not on the magnet, but somewhere obvious.

Poke, poke, poke.

In case of emergency, which magnets would you evacuate first? [/food for thought]

Well, Klout me.

hey, wanna see my magnets?

jm's magnetic mission

With millions of blogs in the universe, why can't there be one on magnets. Everyone has them. And, if you're lucky, each one tells a story.
That's what I'm aiming to do here - pick a random magnet each day and tell a story. And who knows, maybe you'll come forward to share your own magnet stories.
They sell magnets all over the world - how can I be the only one who collects them?
NOTE: This is a magnet blog - mine. Which means that whatever opinions or commentary offered here are certainly from my own little head, and *not* reflective of my employer. Like, at all. In fact, here's what I'm supposed to say, apparently: "The opinions expressed on joymagnetism.com are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer. The posts on this blog are provided "as is" with no warranties and confer no rights."
Also. New rule: No more magnetblogging on extended family. Second new rule: No more shoptalk, either.
